Adoption update! 🏠💙
"I adopted Ziggy in October 2025 from the Milwaukee Campus. He’s been such a blessing. He’s doing great!! He’s all potty trained, loves his walks, loves his naps and his toys, and mostly he loves a delicious treat. He’s the bestest boy 💙 I wanted to share an update and encourage others to not shop, to adopt because there are so many animals that are deserving of their furever home." Nichole R.

Meet Daisy, who spent a wonderful day with foster parent Angela, enjoying a field trip.
This is what Angela wants you to know about this cute 1-year-old:
"She is gentle, curious, and full of good manners. She was an excellent car passenger, walked beautifully on leash, and was incredibly easy to handle (no pulling at all). She knows “sit” and has very discerning taste — passed on the pup cup, spit out most treats, but said yes to quail/duck/chicken jerky. Her only “disclaimers” are an adorable underbite and being an active girl. She does jump up occasionally, but overall, I found her to be very easy and extremely sweet."
Daisy has been spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated, and cannot wait for your visit!
Stop by our Milwaukee Campus during adoption hours to see her! 💙

story! ❤️
When Harper was just two years old, she met Big Tony at his foster home. Feeling an instant connection, and without hesitation, she approached him, and he leaned right in - the first of many snuggles this pair would share. 😻
Today, Harper is six, Big Tony (now Gizmo!) is four, and the two are still inseparable. He adores his girl and keeps a gentle watch over her every day. Harper even asks her mom to send new photos to his former foster at the holidays; a tradition everyone looks forward to.
From the moment they met, it was clear these two were meant to grow up side-by-side. 💛

Big thanks to Gizmo's family and our foster parent, Kelly, for sharing this with us and allowing us to share it with everyone else!

The dogs (and our team) love when our friends at 102.9 The HOG stop by for some tail wags and playtime! Meet Peanut — today’s featured . This 7-year-old has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and it’s a total sweetheart. He would rather not share his home with other dogs or cats, but he has plenty of love to make up for it!
Stop by our Milwaukee campus during adoption hours if you’re looking to add a little joy to your day. 💛
